Trailer Soundscape - Garage Band

In my group I worked on the trailer background music, I have designed the music around some of the classic horror styles for different levels of suspense for different moods, for example, I have used the cliche of using the weather as a backdrop with the music. Below I have posted my two main themes from my soundscape.

In the below screenshot, I have set the different levels of volume for each sound layer where I have either raised or lowered the overall volume for a set length of time in order to maintain a  good quality of sound which does not exceed the optimum output for that individual layer.

I have also used a panning feature in my work where I have raised the scale of it's effect higher or lower which in turn, impacts which speaker or headphone will be more prominent in sound presentation. When the level is higher it is more prominent from the left hand speaker or earphone and when it is lower it is louder coming from the right hand side output. This gives the effect that the sound is travelling when it is being listened too.

Editing Practice - Final Cut

I have practiced with Final Cut, a program which is relatively new to me as in the past I used more basic programs for editing like iMovie which is a good program to use although it is nowhere near as good as Final Cut in terms of video editing, as it allows for precise frame cuts and also for sound editing as well, allowing you to create a highly detailed video, and in our groups case, a high quality film trailer. Below I have posted some of my practice work with Final Cut in terms of cutting film.

In the below images I have a copy of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D trailer in which I have detailed when each different fade or cut effect has taken place and I have then allotted each cut into a bin for a specific sequence or scene type i.e. action or close ups.
